Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical engineering technology, specifically relating to a multi-channel adjustable electric bicycle charging station. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycle charging stations are used to charge the batteries of electric bicycles, ensuring that the vehicles can be used normally. Some advanced charging stations are also equipped with a variety of safety protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, short circuit protection, and temperature monitoring, which can take timely measures, such as cutting off the power supply, to prevent safety accidents such as fires when abnormal conditions are detected.
[0003] In the prior art, a charging station for electric bicycles, disclosed in patent publication number CN217623199U, includes a crossbar with longitudinal beams fixedly mounted on it along its length. One end of each longitudinal beam is rotatably connected to a support arm, with both rotating along an axis parallel to the crossbar. When it is necessary to connect to the plug on the electric bicycle power adapter, the support arm is pulled outward to raise the socket and bring it closer to the operator, thus facilitating connection. However, in actual use, if electric bicycles are parked too crowded, even if the support arm can rotate and raise the socket, if the surrounding space is very limited, the operator may still find it difficult to approach the socket or find enough space to operate the power adapter plug.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-channel adjustable electric bicycle charging station, which enables multiple sockets 208 to move laterally at equal distances or rise simultaneously, avoiding charging difficulties caused by the sockets 208 being too close to the electric bicycle, thereby greatly improving the space utilization rate of the charging station.
[0028] The support mechanism 100 includes a fixed frame 101, a cylinder frame 102 disposed below the fixed frame 101, a positioning frame 103 disposed outside the cylinder frame 102, a support frame 104 located on the other side of the positioning frame 103, and a limiting sleeve 105 disposed outside the support frame 104.
[0029] It should be noted that the bearing mechanism 100 is used to support the components in the lateral movement mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300 to ensure the stability of the charging pile.
[0030] The transverse movement mechanism 200 includes a servo motor 201 adapted to be installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 101, a connecting shaft 202 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 201 via a coupling, a drive column 203 fixedly connected to the through end of the connecting shaft 202, several irregular grooves 204 respectively opened on both sides of the drive column 203, a guide rail 205 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame 101, several sliders 206 respectively slidably sleeved on both sides of the guide rail 205, a protrusion 207 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the slider 206 and used in conjunction with the irregular grooves 204, and a socket 208 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slider 206.
[0031] It should be noted that when the connecting shaft 202 rotates, it can drive several protrusions 207, sliders 206 and sockets 208 to move in opposite directions at equal distances through several irregular grooves 204.
[0032] And a lifting mechanism 300 disposed on the inner surface of the limiting sleeve 105 and used in conjunction with the fixing frame 101.
[0033] It should also be noted that the lifting mechanism 300 is used to raise the socket 208 to a suitable position to prevent the socket 208 from being blocked by the electric bicycles parked around it, which would make it difficult for the operator to insert the plug into the socket 208 for charging.
[0034] Specifically, the end of the drive column 203 away from the servo motor 201 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fixed frame 101 by a bearing, and the outer surface of the protrusion 207 slides in contact with the inner wall of the irregular groove 204.
[0035] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 300 includes a jacking cylinder 301 adapted to be installed on the outer surface of the cylinder frame 102, and a first rack column 302 fixedly connected to the output end of the jacking cylinder 301.
[0036] Preferably, the output end of the jacking cylinder 301 extends to the side of the cylinder frame 102 away from the jacking cylinder 301, the output end of the jacking cylinder 301 slides in contact with the inner surface of the cylinder frame 102, and the outer surface of the first rack column 302 slides in contact with the inner surface of the positioning frame 103.
[0037] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 300 also includes a first gear 303 meshing with the outer surface of the first rack column 302, a connecting column 304 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first gear 303, and a second gear 305 fixedly sleeved on the outer end face of the connecting column 304.
[0038] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 300 also includes a second rack post 306 meshing with the outer surface of the second gear 305, the top of the second rack post 306 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 101.
[0039] It should be explained that the limiting sleeve 105 has a connecting groove on the side near the second gear 305, thereby ensuring that the second gear 305 can mesh with the second rack 306.
[0040] Specifically, the outer surface of the connecting column 304 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the support frame 104, and the outer surface of the second rack column 306 is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the limiting sleeve 105.
[0041] When the socket 208 is laterally blocked by the electric bicycle during use, the servo motor 201 drives the connecting shaft 202 and the drive column 203 to rotate synchronously. The drive column 203 drives several irregular grooves 204 to rotate. Then, the guide rail 205 limits the slider 206, so that the irregular grooves 204 drive several protrusions 207, slider 206 and socket 208 to move towards each other at equal distances. After the socket 208 is moved to a position where it is not laterally blocked by the electric bicycle, the servo motor 201 is turned off and the plug is inserted into the socket 208 for charging.
[0042] When the socket 208 is blocked vertically by a tall electric bicycle, the control cylinder 301 drives the first rack column 302 to move linearly. The first rack column 302 drives the first gear 303 to rotate, and the first gear 303 drives the connecting column 304 and the second gear 305 to rotate synchronously. Through the limit sleeve 105, the second gear 305 drives the second rack column 306 to rise. Then, through the cooperation of the second rack column 306 and the fixed frame 101, the socket is raised to a position where it is not blocked by the tall electric bicycle. The control cylinder 301 is then closed, and the plug is inserted into the socket 208 for charging.
[0043] In summary, through the cooperation between the components of the lateral movement mechanism 200 and the lifting mechanism 300, not only can several sockets 208 move laterally at equal distances, but several sockets 208 can also be raised simultaneously. This avoids the sockets 208 being too close to the electric bicycle, ensuring that the operator can more easily find a suitable socket 208 for charging. This reduces the time spent searching for sockets 208 and adjusting the position of the electric bicycle, thus improving the operator's charging experience.
